The Clockwork Forest (Remastered)

Dark drop-D grunge guitar riff under fingerpicked acoustic, Heavy, tribal drums enter at chorus, Clock-like percussion with woodblocks and metallic chimes, Tempo ~90 BPM, brooding but steady, Minor tonality, Soundgarden-style suspended chords, soprano vocals

(Verse 1) In the forest made of ticking trees, Every branch swings hours with the breeze, The owls can’t tell the day from night, The rivers flow in circles tight. (Chorus) Tick-tock, tick-tock, The woods are alive, Every second’s a door That I can’t survive. (Verse 2) The foxes move with gears in their eyes, The sun comes up but it never really dies. The leaves all whisper in metallic tones, I follow their echoes but end up alone. (Chorus) Tick-tock, tick-tock, The woods are alive, Every second’s a door That I can’t survive. (Bridge) I chase the shadows through branches of time, The paths rewind but they don’t align. Every step is a number, every breath a beat, In the forest where the clocks all meet. (Outro) Tick-tock, tick-tock, The forest won’t rest, Tick-tock, tick-tock, It beats in my chest.
